Marriage: An Orthodox Perspective
Author: John Meyendorff
In this concise and thoughtful work, Fr. John Meyendorff presents the Orthodox Christian vision of marriage as a holy mystery lived in the life of the Church. Drawing on Scripture, the Fathers, and the lived experience of the Church, he shows how Christian marriage finds its true meaning in the Eucharist and in the couple’s journey toward the Kingdom of God.
“It is impossible to understand either the New Testament doctrine on marriage, or the very consistent practice of the Orthodox Church without seeing Christian marriage in the context of the Eucharist… The very notion of marriage as a sacrament presupposes that a man is a citizen of God’s Kingdom and that his entire life—especially its most decisive moments—involves eternal values and God Himself.”
